Architect-led tour of Queen’s Conservation Area

This unique area of Belfast contains not only one of the highest concentrations of good Victorian buildings in Ireland but also a building of European importance in the Palm House located within Botanic Gardens. The tour will begin with a discussion on what conservation areas are along with a brief history of the conservation movement in Northern Ireland. Participants will then look at a range of buildings across the area; the great, the good and the iconic along with the quieter and – at face value at least – the less remarkable buildings that contribute to the overall character of the area. This tour will be delivered by Andrew Molloy from Hamilton Architects.
